How the fuck was this guy real anyway, his existence sounds like a shitpost in retrospect. "When I was growing up we bought tickets to watch a guy smash melons with a hammer and we all wore ponchos and laughed."

Hello friends, and welcome to Watamelon Quest.
I wanted to do something fun for all of you.
So I made a little game we can play right here on the forum.

Q & A

Q: Is this a D&D Watamelon game?
A: Sort of, it is a more casual TTRPG style game mainly focused on storytelling and maximizing fun.

Q: Who is invited to play?
A: Everyone!

Q: How do I play?
A: Pick a class from the list below, a mission and a hometown. Then post in this thread.

Q: What are the rules?
A: I will make a post later detailing the games mechanics. It is fairly simple to keep things as smooth as possible. The main focus is on fun after all.

Q: Can I make a custom class or mission?
A: Yes, just DM me before hand if you want to do something different.

Q: Where do I play this and do I need anything to play?
A: I made this game so you can play it right in the forum itself, nothing is required besides a forum account.

Q: When is it?
A: Saturday the 21st @ 10 PM UTC.

Q: How many people can play?
A: It depends how many people are interested. If too many people want to join I will just make a separate session to try and make space for everyone. I will try to give group a different adventure to keep things interesting for everyone.

Q: How long will the game be?
A: I tried to keep it short so it can be played in one session.

Q: Are there any plans to for more typical games like D&D, Pathfinder, Cyberpunk, Call of Cthulhu, Vampires the Masqurade, etc.
A: Yes! I plan to eventually have a gaming night and see what system people would be interested in playing.
